What happens here

The video begins with Stanley introducing Alex, an excavating company owner from Georgia. They discuss CAT Next Gen equipment, focusing on its built-in systems for benchmarks and grade references, which eliminate the need for third-party add-ons like Trimble or Topcon. Alex explains that once a good spot is checked manually, the machine can remember and account for grade and pitch, preventing over-digging.

Goal: Understand the advanced features of CAT Next Gen equipment.

okay in all the years I've been doing this I will firmly tell you guys I learn as much from you guys as I learn probably more from the product GS I'm here with Alex and you run an excavating company right out out of Georgia and what do this deal about cats so CAT nextg equipment yeah just from the factory comes with systems in it that you can go punch in benchmarks grade references and other things and you don't need to add Trimble to it you don't need somebody down there checking grade once you get one good spot checked by hand you put the bucket flat lock it in as a benchmarker or a reference point and the further you dig even if you're getting up on contoured Hills it remembers that and can account for it and that's not even with Trimble or top conon or any of that added stuff so you're going to dig like we were do we did a Menard Superstore up in um Maple Maple Grove yeah so if you guys live there and you've ever been in a Manards that's where I I did that one it was a couple thousand linear feet of footing y so I could set one elev and every day I would set in that freaking elevation if it's the same elevation and even if it has pitch you can set it at a 2% 1% whatever percentage you want and your machine will not let you over dig it it doesn't matter how hard you try and over dig the machine once you set you want a 2% fall for pipe or whatever or flat for elevations it will not let you over dig and it's even got a miniature uh grade Rod system in the cab meaning when you're flat at tone it goes d it'll tell you that and you can turn that off and still see it on your screen while you're all integrated into the machine so we used to have the add on like we wanted to do it on our Dozer we would put the sticks on our Dozer when we wanted to do it anywhere this just built right in y it just comes with a couple added sensors on the boom but it's not an added Trimble system cuz Trimble can be $30 to $60,000 depending how you can figure it topcon and the other ones I don't know much about but but if you don't need that much if you don't need that much you just need some basic grade locking abilities that's what it's got all
